TO PATENT ATTORNEYS. 

Marks & Clerk transact all business connected with procuring and maintaining patents, and 
securing trademarks and designs in every part of the world. 

The technical, scientific and commercial experience of the principals and stafif enables sound 
advice and skilled assistance to be given on all classes of inventions. 

Searches made, infringements of patents investigated, and reports prepared for the guidance 
of attorneys and counsel. Expert evidence given in patent cases. 

NOTE. 

The prices quoted herein are intended for Attorneys only and are confidential. Changes in 
the laws or rules entailing additional expenditure beyond that on which the fees are based will 
necessitate increased rates to attorneys even though no notice of such changes has been com- 
municated to the instructing attorney. Important changes will be notified to attorneys from time 
to time. 

TO UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN ATTORNEYS. 

A Card Index has been published comprising 130 cards, giving detailed information as to each 
country, the duration of the patents, the cost of paying taxes, effecting nominal workings, pre- 
paring and recording assignments, and other information of value to attorneys engaged in the 
practise of securing patents. Sets of these cards will be furnished to any attorney on request 
and without charge. 

The information herein contained is published for the use of Attorneys in the hope that it 
will be of service in determining the countries in which foreign applications should be filed. 

Attention is drawn to the convenience of prosecuting the various applications in examina- 
tion countries by one firm in that the references coming from each country are considered in pros- 

3 



editing the applications in the other examination countries. The arrangements we have made 
to provide for this consideration of references from the various countries abroad has enabled us 
to secure grants of much more practical value to our clients than would have been possible had 
the applications been distributed among several attorneys; further, it should be pointed out that 
our system enables us to deal intelligently with enquiries which may arise in the prosecution of 
cases, since we actually prepare and amend tlie cases ourselves in all examination countries, 
which entails a careful study of the invention not given to cases by mere distributing agents. 
First class attorneys are employed to represent us in the actual filing of the applications in 
such foreign countries. 

SELECTION OF FOREIGN ATTORNEYS. 

Great care is exercised in selecting attorneys to deal with cases and we have from personal 
enquiries in all examination countries ascertained the special qualifications of attorneys to prose- 
cute applications on different subjects; we make selection accordingly when forwarding our ap- 
plications for filing. 

Applications for foreign Patents and Trademarks are forwarded direct from the firm's Amer- 
ican offices, to each individual country so that our clients are practically in direct connection, 
through these offices, with the foreign attorneys, and information is always available as to the 
position of any applications which we are prosecuting. 

AMENDMENTS PREPARED AND SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL. 

With regard to the amendment of British and foreign cases, our practice is actually to con- 
sider official letters and the references, if any, cited l)y the various offices, after which we prepare 
an amendment where possible to meet the official- objections and submit it in the English lan- 
guage with the official letter or a translation of same to the instructing attorney for consideration, 

A 






unless we are requested to prosecute the case to allowance where possible without reference to tlic 
instructing attorney. 

At our London office we have the largest staff of highly trained engineers and registered pat- 
ent agents of any firm of patent attorneys in Europe. Our American and English staff includes 
technical translators who have had experience and s])ecial training in different arts and industries 
and in patent attorneys' offices in foreign language countries. 

Translations of the specifications for filing in the foreign countries are carefully made and the 
claims to meet the requirements of the patent offices are drafted in proper form before filing the 
cases. 

We shall be happy at all times to confer with attorneys in connection with the preparation, 
amendment or maintenance of foreign patent applications and patents, and to answer enquiries re- 
lating to the working, assignment or licensing of patents in any foreign country. 

CLAIMS PREPARED IN EUROPEAN FORM. 

The preparation of claims to meet the requirements of the European examination coun- 
tries entails a knowledge of the practice of the patent offices abroad, which can obviously best be 
obtained by practical experience in dealing with applications in those countries. This advan- 
tage is offered to our clients in that we have in all our American offices a highly skilled techni- 
cal force whose training has included this practical experience, so valuable in the determination 
of the proper form of claim to present in the different countries. By our association with all the 
best patent attorneys throughout the world, we are kept informed as to the changes in practice 
in all foreign countries and are able to give up-to-date information in all matters relating to the 
protection of industrial property abroad. 

Our offices are fully equipped with forms for patent, design and trademark applications in 
every country. Specifications of foreign patents will also be sui)plied at the lowest possible cost: 



searches conducted and advice given on all matters arising in the practice of patent attorneys 
relating to industrial property.

6 



In addition an individual assi<,niee (not a company) may apply in Ijahama Islands, l>ermuda, 
Great Britain (company can apply under Convention, and see below), Trinidad and Toba^^o. 

Assignee (Corporation or Individual) and Inventor Jointly — Applications in this form may 
be filed in Great Britain, Grenada, Malta, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, British Central Africa (Nyassa- 
land), South Africa and Southern Rhodesia. 

Further, in Great Britain and several of her colonies, an application can be filed in the name 
of an individual importer other than the inventor. A corporation, firm or individual located in the 
country can also apply as a communication from an individual (whether the original inventor 
or not), from a firm, or a corporation located abroad, and on grant such a patent could be im- 
mediately assigned by the Communicatee to the Communicator, or to third parties by making 
the Communicator a party to the assignment. The law in Great Britain looks upon an importer 
as the inventor and grants a valid patent to such importer. 

In all countries not mentioned above applications must be filed by the original inventor or 
inventors. 

TIME FOR FILING APPLICATIONS. 

Generally speaking, applications should be filed before any publication is made of the inven- 
tion in any country, unless the advantages of the International Convention (see below) are ap- 
plied for. Many valuable rights are lost abroad by allow^ing inventions to be published or the 
devices to be sold in the United States before filing the U. S. application. By so doing, all Con- 
vention benefits are lost and in most countries valid patents could not thereafter be obtained. 
After expiration of the Convention period (12 months from filing date in first Convention coun- 
try), valid patents can only be obtained when applications therefor are filed having the following 
in view : 

Before Publication of Any Kind, or Public Use of the Invention Anywhere. — France, Guate- 
mala, Holland, Hungary, Morocco, Spain (20 year patent), Sweden, Tunis and Turkey. 

7 



Before Printed Publication in Any Country and Before Public Use in the Territory Applied 
For. — Austria, Belgium (official publication does not affect patent of importation), Denmark, Fin- 
land (official publication does not affect for six months), Germany, Luxemburg (before use in Ger- 
many), Portugal (before use also in Colonies), and South Africa (application may be made with- 
in 12 months from date of filing of the foreign patent.) 

Before Printed Publication Anywhere. — Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Salvador (official 
patent publications do not affect). 

Before Public Use Anywhere. — Colombia and Cuba ("Nacional" Patent). 

Before Publication or Public Use in the Country, — Australian Commonwealth, Bahamas (un- 
less well known elsewhere and known to others in Bahamas), Barbados, British Central Africa, 
(Xyassaland), British Guiana, British Honduras, Chile, Gambia, Gold Coast Colony, Great Britain, 
India, Japan, Jodhpur, Johore, Leeward Islands, Liberia, Malta, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Nigeria, 
Norway, Russia (official patent publication no bar), Switzerland and Travancore. 

Before Public Use in the Country. — Bermuda, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Trinidad 
and Tobago. 

During the Life of a British Patent, Provided no Prior Use in the Country or in Great Britain 
or Her Possessions (Use by Inventor or Those Acting Under Him Excepted). — British North 
Borneo, Federated Malay States, and Straits Settlements. 

During the Life of a British Patent, Provided no Prior Use in the Country. — Ceylon, Hong 
Kong and Sierra Leone.

Islands, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, Santo Domingo, Seychelles Islands, Venezuela, and 
Virgin Islands.

(Danish Patent), Kedah and Kelantan (Straits Settlements or Federated Malay States Patent), 
Philippines and Porto Rico (United States Patent), Portuguese Colonies (Portuguese Patent) and 
Swaziland (South African Patent). 

Within One Year from the Acquisition of Foreign or the SeaHng of British Patent. — East 
Africa Protectorate, Hyderabad (Deccan), Mysore, and Zanzibar. 

Within a Given Period After First Prior Patent. — Brazil, seven months from grant ; Canada, 
one year from issue or first use abroad ; Mauritius, one year from date of British ; Mysore, one 
year from date of grant of foreign patent ; Norway, twelve months for countries which recii)r(j- 
cate ; Roumania, six months from grant; Southern Rhodesia, one year from date of grant; Uru- 
guay, one year from issue. 

Patents of Addition. — Many European and other countries, including Great Britain, France, 
Germany, Italy, etc., grant patents of addition for improvements on an existing main patent, under 
which no taxes are payable, but the usual working conditions have to be complied with. The 
cost of filing such patent of addition applications is about the same as for main patents, and the 
same documents have to be furnished. 

Papers Required for FiUng AppHcations. — For filing Patent Applications we require specifi- 
cations in duplicate for English-speaking countries, with an extra copy for agents' use. For other 
countries where English is not used one copy of the specification suffices for each country, for 
translation purposes. A power of attorney is needed for each country together with proper 
drawings prepared in accordance with the requirements of the various Patent Offices. Forms of 
power, and special application documents where these have to be signed, will be furnished at 
any time on request. The full name, address and occupation should be furnished in every case, 
including the street number and middle names. 



Claims. — These may he furnished in the American form and will, if so desired, and for small 
additional charges, be put into the correct form before filing to meet the varying requirements of 
different offices abroad ; they will be submitted for approval before the cases are dispatched 
when so requested. We are always glad to have a brief statement as to the most important 
features to be claimed, and if new functions are present in the apparatus these should be pointed 
out so that they can be brought out in the claims. 

Translations. — The initial charges quoted do not include any translation or copying charges. 
Wdiere the same lang-uage can be used for second and subsequent countries, translation for one 
country only is charged for, copying charges for the other countries at the rate of 30 cents per 
100 words being payable (40 cents for Italy), which would cover additional stamp fees where 
such are required. 

Inclusive Charges. — The charges where quoted on the inclusive basis, i. e., to cover amend- 
ments, comprise the first year's tax, or term taxes as required, and all fees payable up to the 
grant of the patents assuming no oppositions arc- brought against the same and that no appeals 
have to be taken against decisions of the office rejecting the application. Quotations for prose- 
cuting appeals or fighting oppositions will be given at any time on request. 

Taxes. — The rates for payment of taxes are quoted on our card index above referred to and 
include Government, our own and our associates' fees for effecting payments. Notices of payments 
due are sent out well ahead of the dates to give our clients ample time to communicate with the 
patentees. We cannot, of course, take any responsibility for non-delivery of notices, but every 
care is taken in dispatching same, and a special department is maintained to deal with such noti- 
fications. 

Remittances should in every case accompany instructions. 

Workings. — Where actual manufacture is necessary to meet the requirements of the respec- 
tive laws, we shall be glad to obtain and submit estimates for carrying out the work in advance of 
putting same in hand. It will be understood that the "workings" quoted for on the cards should 
not be solely relied on where the law calls for actual manufacture, and patentees should he urged 

10 



to take such additional steps as will be conducive to the esta1)lishment of bona fide commercial 
manufacture of the invention, if they desire to be fully armed against an attack on the patent by 
reason of the non-working thereof. 

No attack against a patent on the ground of non-working can be brought in a Convention 
country until after three years from the date of the application. 

The rates quoted cover our, own and our associates' fees for dealing with the matter and 
official fees wdiere payable for certifying or recording workings, but customs' dues and freight 
on models or machinery exported are not included in our quoted fees. 

No working is required in Great Britain until after an actual working on a commercial scale 
has been set up in some other country. 

Marking of Patented Articles. — In most countries the marking of patented articles in any 
way is optional ; but in the folloAving countries there are specific requirements or provision is 
made for special marking where the patent is referred to : 

Australia. — The word "Patented" followed by the number and date of the patent should be 
given. 

Canada. — Patented articles must bear the word ''Patented" followed by the year in which 
the patent was granted. 

France. — If marked at all, patented goods should bear the words (after the marking adopted) 
"Sans guarantie du Gouvernement" or S. g. d. G." 

Great 'Britain. — Patented goods should bear the word ''Patented" followed by the number of 
the patent if possible. 

Japan. — The patented articles, or the cases or receptacles containing same must be marked, 
and a special form of marking is used giving the number and date of the patent in English and 
Japanese characters. A copy of the special marking necessary will be supplied on request. 

Salvador. — Patented articles must carry the number and date of the patent. 

11 



Switzerland. — Goods may be marked with the Federal Cross as shown on the Patent Deed 
followed by the number of the patent. 

Holland. — Patented goods should be marked as follows "Octrooi No" followed by the num- 
ber of the patent. 

International Convention. — The following countries are parties to the International Conven- 
tion : Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Ceylon, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, Great 
Britain, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, 
Spain, Sweden, Santo Domingo, (Dominican Republic), Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunis, 
and United States of America. 

The main benefit of this Convention is that a priority of twelve months is obtained in other 
countries after filing an application in a Convention country irrespective of any publication or 
use that may have been made of the invention in any country before filing the application. 

The benefits of the Convention should be claimed when filing the application, and, generally 
speaking, applications claiming Convention rights may be filed in the name of a company instead 
of that of the individual inventor, if the application is accompanied by an assignment of the rights 
for the particular country authorizing the company to apply for the patent and to claim the 
benefits of the Convention in its own name. In Great Britain and the British Colonies applica- 
tions under the International Convention must be accompanied by a certified copy of the applica- 
tion (specification, drawings and claims), as filed in the first Convention country applied for. 
An extension of time for filing this certified copy can be obtained in most countries, as noted on 
pages 13 and 14. 

"RUSH" APPLICATIONS. 

In urgent cases it is possible to claim Convention rights by filing an informal application on 
cabled instructions, where the United States patent has already issued, or where sufficient details 
are cabled on which to draw up a specification, which would secure a filing date, and permit the 

12 



substitution therefor of proper filing drawings and complete specifications later. Certified copies 
are required for other countries, sometimes within specified dates, as follows : 

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATIONS UNDER CONVENTION. 

Certified Copy 
(What required and charge for extension.) 
Australia — With application or under extensions of one ($12.50), two ($22.50), or three 
($32.50) months. (Copy as filed.) 

Austria — Within six months of filing application. (Copy as filed.) 

Belgium — Not required at present, but claim to Convention rights should be made on filing. 
Brazil — With application or within a short period thereafter, (certified copy filing receipt 
or cover of file wrapper). 

Ceyloil — With application (copy in duplicate as filed). 

Cuba — When called for — extension can be obtained. 

Denmark — Is demanded by Office by given date — extension obtainable, (as filed or granted). 

France — Not required at present. Convention benefits must be claimed on filing or within 
60 days thereafter. 

Germany — When demanded or required to prove priority (copy as filed or, after grant, copy of 
issued patent). 

Great Britain — ^To be filed with application. Extension 1 month ($12.50), 2 months ($22.50), 
3 months ($32.50). (Copy as filed.) 

Holland — Preferably with application — short extension obtainable, (Copy as filed). 

Hungary — Within three months of filing application, (Copy as filed). 

Italy — Within 15 days of demand — preferably filed with application or as soon after as pos- 
sible (copy of issued patent or application as filed on pending case). 

13 



Japan — Within one month of filing application : Extension $1.00 (copy as granted or as filed on 
pending case). 

Mexico — Certified copy of patent as issued showing filing date, or of application as filed. 

Morocco — Not required at present. 

New Zealand — With application or within 1, 2 or 3 months extension; 1 month ($5.00), 2 
months ($7.50). 3 months ($10.00). (Copy as filed.) 

Norway — Is demanded by Office by given date, extension obtainable (copy as granted or as 
filed). 

Portugal — Not required at present. Convention rights should be claimed on filing. 

Santo Domingo — W^ith application, but extension obtainable (copy as granted or as filed). 

Spain — Not required at present, but Convention rights should be claimed on filing. 

Sweden — Is demanded by Office by a given date — extension obtainable, (as filed or granted). 

Switzerland — Certified copy as filed. 

Trinidad and Tobago — With application, no extension obtainable. 

Tunis — Not required at present; rights should be claimed on filing. 

Importation. — This is permitted without danger to the patent in all countries which are par- 
ties to the International Convention so long as the working requirements of the respective laws are 
complied with. It is not generally considered safe to import more than one-half of the local de- 
mand for the patented devices in the respective countries, and it is generally dangerous to import 
at all, except a sample for assisting in setting up manufacture, after the working is due to be 
eflfected, until proper manufacturing arrangements to supply one-half of the local demand have 
been made. 

Canada. — No importation is permitted after one year from the date of grant unless extension 
to import is obtained. Such extensions are now readily granted. 

Drawings. — These can be furnished for any country on request at moderate cost. A blue- 
print copy would serve for making the filing drawings, or an order on the Patent Office to enable 
drawings filed there to be photo-lithographed should be furnished. 

14 



COMPOSITE RATES. 

Special quotations for filing- or prosecuting applications in a group of countries will be given 
at any time on request, as also for paying taxes, effecting workings or for other patent, design or 
trademark business. 

PATENTS— CHARGES FOR FILING APPLICATIONS 

The undermentioned charges give the cost of filing applications in all foreign countries, the 
figures for the foreign language countries in the first column being exclusive of any translation 
and exclusive of amendments. In the second column the charge for translation per one hun- 
dred words is given. In the third column the extra charge is given for amendments in examina- 
tion countries up to 2,500 words of text. In the fourth column the extra charge for amend- 
ments on each additional 500 words beyond 2,500 words of text is quoted. In the fifth column 
the extra cost for assignment where required for filing in the name of an assignee, including 
legalization, is given ; the sixth column shows the cost of assignment after grant, including legal- 
ization ; while in the seventh column the cost of legalization of the power of attorney (where 
required) is quoted. The seventh column shows the additional cost of filing applications under 
the provisions of the International Convention (exclusive of the cost of certified copy of the 
U. S. patent or application as required and as shown on pages 15 and 16). 

The figures quoted do not include any revision of claims to meet the requirements of the 
patent offices abroad. Special quotations for this service will be given where attorneys desire 
claims to be revised before the applications are filed. 

The charges for paying taxes, efifecting nominal workings, and such other information con- 
nected with the upkeep of patents, are given on our card index of patent information which 
will be furnished to attorneys free of charge on request.
